Mission:
To develop buildable model bridges of
different structural types. The models are used for outreach in Massachusetts classrooms, grades 1-6. The working models demonstrate different types of bridge design, architecture, and construction methods as they are assembled by grade school students in a way that simulates the actual construction process. This library of bridge models will be used to foster outreach to schools, interest in K-12 education by current college students, and awareness of architecture and design in our communities.
